The Second Truth About School
Vouchers: School vouchers are about dismantling public education, by starving
public schools of adequate resources.

Public schools are funded to
serve all children. Children with less than average needs, children with
average needs, and children with above average needs.The way public schools are currently (and
inadequately funded) requires a little economy of scale.

When all students are
essentially funded the same (and yes, I understand weighted funding), the
public school can only serve ANY and every student that enrolls because its
funding resources are pooled (and yes, I understand dedicated funding).The surplus from students requiring fewer
resources are shared with students requiring more resources.

However, when school vouchers
are introduced, this delicate funding balance (and it is delicate because
public schools are woefully underfunded) is upended.

Why is this the case?Ignore the flowery falsehoods spread by
anti-public school politicians, school vouchers are not used to educate
students requiring extra resources (poor, LEP, Special Education, etc.). School
vouchers are used to educate the easy to teach.Because private schools are not required to teach ANY student that shows
up at their doors. Private schools are allowed to EXCLUDE and SAY NO for any
reason, at their sole discretion.

The math is brutally simple. Subtract
the funding of students not requiring extra resources and there is no surplus
to use with needier students.Which
means that the public school now has to cut required services for the students
that need them the most.

Which then makes public schools
seemingly less effective, thus “validating” the need for more school vouchers.

School vouchers represent an
orchestrated doom loop that victimizes a public trust for elitist and
anti-democratic gain.

Shameful.
